DIO: The International Journal of Scientific History
ISSN 1041-5440

DIO is primarily a mag of scientific history & principle. Most articles are authored past times astrononomers, physicists, mathematicians, & classicists — non historians. There are no page charges.

• Since 1991 inception, has gone without fee to leading scholars & libraries.
• Publisher & mag cited (1996 May 9) inward New York Times frontpage even out on his uncovering of information blowing opened upwardly the famous 70-year Richard Byrd North Pole controversy. [Featured inward DIO 10 [2000], co-published with the University of Cambridge.]
See also New York Times Science 2010/9/8, or fuller version (including link to DIO) on NYT website.
• Journal is published primarily for universities' in addition to scientific institutions' collections; alongside subscribers (by written request) are libraries at: Oxford University, Cambridge University, Johns Hopkins, Cal Tech, Cornell University, the universities of Chicago, Toronto, London, Munich, Göttingen, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Tartu, Amsterdam, Liège, Ljubljana, Bologna, Canterbury (NZ); the U.S. of A. of America Naval Observatory, Royal Astronomical Society (London), Royal Observatory (Scotland), British Museum, Russian State Library, International Center for Theoretical Physics (Trieste).
• Contributors include world government inward their respective fields, experts at, e.g., Johns Hopkins University, Cambridge University, University of London.
• New findings on Mayan eclipse math, Columbus' landfall, in addition to Comet Halley apparitions.
• Journal outset to give away orbital evidence proving the priority of Paris Observatory's U.Leverrier every bit Neptune's 1846 discoverer, in addition to overturning history's harsh verdict on J. Challis (Cantab) for missing the planet. On Leverrier's instruction, Neptune was flora at Berlin Observatory 1846/9/23 inside 1° of his computed location — still, 1 1/2 centuries later, astronomical history's #1 miracle-event.
[DIO 2.3, 4.2, 7.1 & DIO 9.1 [1999], the in conclusion cited at Scientific American 2004 Dec p.98 for the substitution finding that undid England's long-previously-accepted priority claim.]
• Includes occasional satirical supplement, customarily devoted to an ever-bubbling flow of math-science howlers, published past times the close dissent-suppressive History-of-astronomy professorial deities.
• Entire 1993 book [DIO vol. 3] devoted to the outset (and even thus the only) critical edition of Tycho's legendary 1004-star catalog.

Scholars familiar with DIOare urged to pick out it to the attending of the serials departments of appropriate institutional libraries.
